The miracle of hearing
Yang’s heart rate slightly increases whenever she hears us, her friends, laughing and giggling like we used to. Even though she’s still unresponsive to light and motor stimulation, I know deep inside her, she wants to spend this new year’s eve celebration with us. We are waiting for you, Yang. We know that you and your family will be able to surpass this great wave in front of...

Wala na nga kong boyfriend sa new year, wala pa...
Yes, she looks familiar. She’s an endorser and a model so probably you’ve seen some of her prints before. Right now, she’s not the person I’ve been trusting for years. She’s in deep coma as of this afternoon since yesterday. Her brain as well as her liver is swelling. She’s only responsive to pain stimulation. So basically, she is not in good shape. How should...

Sad nights ain't gonna last
The truth is, I could never give up on you, no matter how many times I lie and say I’ve let you go, and no longer care. I still hope. I still expect that things would be better. I miss you so much and worse, you don’t feel the same.

Enthusiasm
I can use my Filed! planner starting today. 2012 is my fourth year in organizing my thoughts and keeping it in a journal. Anyway, work resumes tomorrow so goodluck to me because i’ll be the nurse-reliever of Dr. LCL, the most sought-after orthopedic surgeon in the country.
Someday, I’ll perform miracles by making the cripple walk again.

The difference between patients
[ While waiting for the doctor ]
Totoong Mayaman - Tahimik lang. Nakaupo, pasipol-sipol o kaya nagbabasa ng dyaryo. Nagpapasalamat after ng consultation.
Umaastang mayaman - Late sa appointment. Haggard pagdating. Kinukulit ang receptionist, text ng text, kunyaring may kausap na driver sa cellphone, uma-attitude, tinatarayan ang nurses pag late si doktor, hindi naglalagay ng birthday sa form...

The essence of being a godparent
Christmas is here again. And Children now (and parents) start bugging the godparents for gifts. Let me correct you with that little belief that children is to gifts and Christmas is to godparents. It is not.
When you have been chosen to sponsor a child’s baptism, you will be then called a godparent. Thank heavens for that! Being a godparent is like having an opportunity to support a child...

First day at work
It was fun that my workmates are really kind to me. They’re orienting me with how things are going inside the doctors’ clinics and treatment room. But my butt cheeks hurt from sitting all day, greeting patients and scheduling their appointments. Oh well, at least, I have these reasons to smile:
We had patients from La Salle, Philippine Azkals and San Beda and they’re all under...
I got the job!
My training will start on Monday. Oh hai Makati it’s nice to be back! Oh hi ortho patients, it’s you again. Nyahahaha! Less time for tumblr means more time for making moolah. :)

Overrated rant: Starbucks and Facebook
WHAT THEY DO:
WHAT I DO:
First photo - I visit Starbucks Philippines’ facebook page (and Nyoy, Vibram, Mercato and Toby’s) every now and then to have an idea of their promos, scheduled cheer parties and so on. In short, I need to update myself. And to see such photos of people with their cups are just uhmmm sorry for the word, annoying. Why the heck do they have to do that? Also,...

Overrated: TTH rants
May it be in a form of photo or ~Le civilized long post~, It comes to the point that the more you talk about an issue, the more it gets attention. And you’re just adding crap to the bulk of it.
If you don’t want what’s posted might as well untrack that tag right? or just don’t bother visiting. If you don’t like it, they don’t like your analysis either. If you...

The night before my first job interview
Tomorrow, I’ll have my first job interview ever. The last interview that I had is when I applied for scholarship which turned out to be good because they paid for my whole nursing education. Anyway, I’ll be applying as Orthopedic nurse in Phil. Ortho. Institute, the private counter part of POC.
But this one is different. This is real life. Oh asdfghjkl!!! I’m nervous like...

Know who you are following
Hi guys! First of all, I want to introduce myself. I am Maria Ellaine Melgo, fourth child among six. I grew up as a sporty and active person which I did not regret of doing because of its benefits as I get along with life.
I’m a registered nurse and a future doctor who aspires to witness the miracle of cripples walking again and giving another hope to their lives as well as their loved...

You are not in love
You just love the whole idea of being in love. That’s different. The title is superficial.

Things will change from now on..
I say this and I’ll live up to it. And don’t be surprised if one day you’ll no longer find that weakling in me. I’ll be a better person who holds no regrets and respects differences.
I’ll be the doctor who will treat nurses, patients and their families with utmost respect. I’ll be the student who will diligently study her lessons ahead of time. I’ll be...

I didn't expect He would be that precise
Last night in my prayer, I asked Him if I should go to MedSchool or not. Then I fell asleep and in my dreams, He answered me through through a certain image. It was bright and visible though I haven’t seen it before. I woke up curious and tried to recall everything.
When I googled it, I smiled. It is San Beda Med’s coat of arms and it looks like this:
Thank you, God. If it’s Your will,...

Homosexuals
Whatever you call their group, they’re still created that way. And there is nothing you can do to change it. Damn! Just accept the fact that people don’t act the same as you do, believe in the same set of doctrine as yours and then, respect it as it is. It’s as easy as that. If you think you hate them for being themselves and showing the world what they really are, here let me...

All I want is somebody who cares
Someone who’ll live up to his words and will not utter if he intend to not doing it. I want someone who will not just be with me but will bring out the best in me. That despite of our different worlds, will never have the guts to neglect me and take me for granted.
I don’t want a typical deep definition of love. I just want it to be us-him, me and our dreams.

You know it's gonna be a good day when..
You woke up smiling this morning and you’re pretty much convinced that you’re ready to conquer the world. Such words are so powerful that it can start the day right. Be creative. Have your own mantra for the day. Mine goes like this:
Today It’s gonna be more work and less complain. I have dreams to fulfill and people to serve. Carpe diem!

Hindi nalang ako magmamahal
Ito nalang nasasabi ko pag nasasaktan ako. Emo pero nakakasawa na rin kasi. I-enjoy-in ko nalang sa ngayon ang presence ng pamilya at mga kaibigan ko. Tutal sila naman ang nandiyan palagi para sakin. Tapos magfo-focus ako sa pagta-trabaho at pag-aaral ng Medisina.
Marami akong pangarap sa sarili ko pero hindi ibig sabihin nito na sa lahat ng yun ay kasama siya. May mga bagay na kaya kong gawin...

Me and my buddy nurse
Firs of all, In our College of Nursing we have this buddy-buddy system in the clinical area. So it works like this: the clinical instructor (CI) will assign the student nurse (SN) to the patients which are included in their scope (pedia, OB, CD, MS, etc). Of course these patients have their own staff nurses assigned to them. Basically, buddy nurses are those staff nurses assigned to the student...
